Ratner was a protégé of William Kunstler, and presumably Marxist Arthur Kinoy & Morton Stavis (CPUSA) too (via NLG/CCR).
He was an avowed Marxist (psychopath) and admitted it in a article published in the late 80’s by the Council on Inter-American Security re a debate with Michael Waller.
Ratner was a brilliantly evil lawyer, taking after his communist mentors. If I remember correctly he died within the past year or so and is now filing lawsuits against freedom from down below, wearing Asbestos briefs.
Maybe Wolfgang Kaleck is Antifa?
Also, I wonder if the Ratners, NLG, the Ford Foundation, od Soros do a lot of bricklaying?
